What if Diablo, Dark Souls, and DOOM met in a stone fortress? (I mean, visually — you get it, right?) Forget Mars. Forget shitty tech labs. Now it's stone castles, ancient mechas, runic gates, and infernal mythos. The Dark Ages fuses gothic darkness with future fantasy in a brutal way. The music isn’t as violently intense as something straight from Mick’s bloodied hands — not quite. But it still supports the action quite well. The flow doesn’t quite match Eternal’s intensity, but it feels like a more refined version of DOOM 2016. It’s heavier, less about dizzying speed and constant dashing. But that doesn’t mean the excitement is gone or the momentum is dull — not at all. For me, it hits the sweet spot. It’s not exhausting, not sluggish. Just the right pace. In fact, it often feels like you’re playing a hack & slash game in first-person mode. The visuals are magnificent — from gothic castles to siege scenes, from commanders kneeling at the demon-scarred front lines awaiting the Slayer’s arrival. The design of the giant mechs is striking, and the face-to-face, tooth-and-nail battles with titans are nothing short of spectacular. And there’s plenty of blood splatter, of course. It’s also well-optimized, with no interruptions to the flow. This is exactly the kind of FPS experience I’ve been looking for. If you want a challenge — it’s here. If you want action blended with cinematic flair in insane doses — it’s here too. And best of all, it even gives you moments to catch your breath!

For those having trouble playing: Go into computer management and disable your integrated graphics, the issue should be fixed. Doomguy riding a cyber dragon while wielding a chainsaw shield and a flail.. so metal. They even put a gas pedal on the dragon. I'm sold. Mick Gordon being absent for the production in music for this game is absolutely criminal. Everything else is a 10/10

Dopamine rush. Kind of steroid. Play with caution. You kill demons in several ways. There’s also a story that enhances the experience, but you don’t really need a story to play this game. The rhythm and music are awesome but you will feel the absence of Mr Gordon. It’s the best birthday activity for me. By the way, this is the only horror game I can play. (Because I am the monster here.)

“Hell is invading!” Doom Slayer: Those poor bastards. The Doom series is by far my favorite. Hats off to id for realising that Eternal was brilliant but the franchise needed to go in a new direction. I love how much effort went into this Doom game. The different game mechanics thanks to id really stand out. It's slower, tankier, and doesn't force me to constantly jump and dodge like in previous games.
